Orthodontic treatment, especially before its beginning, is associated with many features unknown to the patient. As a result – with many emotions. The best way to get rid of your fears is to learn about the treatment and prepare for it. Of course, the orthodontist will provide you with all this information. However, a patient’s first visit to an orthodontist is usually preceded by a nervous wait.
It happens that patients think that they will be fitted with orthodontic braces at the first visit. This happens due to ignorance, which every patient has the right to. However, it is worth knowing that the first visit to the orthodontist is informative. During the first meeting, the orthodontist carefully examines the patient’s teeth and talks with him. The purpose of which is to obtain information about the condition of the teeth and to try to determine the causes of bite disorders. X-ray examinations of the jaws are also prescribed. The impressions of orthodontic models can be made already at the first visit. The doctor draws up a treatment plan, which is given to the patient at the next visit.
If the patient is undecided or not sure which method of orthodontic treatment he should choose, the first visit to the orthodontist helps to decide. Based on the examination of the bite and the patient’s expectations, the orthodontist will advise which braces to choose (metal, self-ligating, overlays). Depending on the type of device chosen, the duration of the entire treatment and its price may vary.
If you want to start treatment as soon as possible, the first visit to the orthodontist should be preceded by treatment of all teeth. If we don’t, the orthodontist will recommend it to us before putting on the braces.
